2. Who is claiming the powerful are " under siege in America"?
The powerful are not under siege in America. The current frame that the President and his unquestioning supporters are being unfairly victimized is as grotesque an inversion of power and truth as Christian conservatives climbing their rhetorical crosses and nailing themselves to it with the cries of minorities for freedom.

Pretending such is a poke in the eye of those youths whose lives are damaged or ruined by the moneyed, the connected, the cultural and political ruling classes.

The President is not the victim. The powerful are not the victim. If you unreservedly support them over minorities, the poor, and the powerless, you are not a victim, you are not aggrieved, you are not under siege.

Claiming such is not only perverse, it is a slap in the face to those whose lives are forever damaged, wrecked, or made hopeless by the most powerful forces in this nation.

Shame on you.


Here is what you don't seem to understand: No one is supporting the President over "over minorities, the poor, and the powerless." In fact, you assume that the President does not have supporters who are among these groups.

Accept it, people who support the President are not the evil GOP, they are Democrats whose opinion you don't share or refuse to understand (as this OP demonstrates).
